Okay so i'm a mother of three girls.... 12, 12 and 18 years of age. My oldest one *KC is getting out of hand. Ever since she turned 18 years old she thinks that she no longer has to obide by our house rules. I had made a deal with her that if she continued to go to high school that she could have the extra family vehicle to get her back and forth to school and to her job. Well since she has turned 18 she has been skipping school, calling herself in and she stays out all night long. I'm not exactly what to do. Today I decided that enough was enough and took her car keys while she was sleeping. I went to work and after she discovered her missing keys she instantly called my job with every name in the book for me and she demaned that i "come home right then" to give her the keys. Well this car is in my name not hers. I pay the payments and i make the insurance payments for her to beable to drive it. So i made these points very clear and after my shift at work i returned home to my KC waiting for me at the door. She then proceeded to back me into a cornor and demand her keys once again. we live in an apartment and i knew all the neighbors could hear our little scuffule to i folded and passed off the keys...I just wanted the fighting to stop... this was the last thing my 12 year olds needed to see. I feel like i have failed as a parent. She proceeded to go back to her room take two large crates of clothing a left. She has been seeing and staying with this older guy who is 26 and i'm positive that is where she has "moved" to. I really just want to know what i need to do to get my sweet first born daughter back. There is no father figure in the picture and i need some help. My entire family has basicly given up on trying to help her get her life back together. Its so hard for me to just kick her out and be done with her. I love her so much, no matter how much she disrespects me. I just need some advice. ↓
